Price of a SL2

[hemant_gurung]

I am selling a CHROME Leicaflex SL2 for a friend of mine and

we both are unsure about it's resale value. Would appreciate any

help from the gurus here. Not many SL2's on eBay and the

erratic prices are rather confusing. The SL2 is in a great user

condition and comes with it's leather case.

Thanks.

It's hard to pin a number on its value. The chrome SL2 is scarce

so it would appeal to collectors, except it's been touched by

human hands, which cuts it's collector value considerably.

Depending on who you sell it to and how badly he wants it you

may get anything from $700 to $1000 for it.

Condition, condition, condition.

It all depends on how "user" it is. I bought a chrome SL2 that had

been dropped in a creek for $250US. I then had a CLA and focus

screen change which tacked on another $250US. If I went to sell

it I would probably only get the $500US I have into it because of

its cosmetic condition.

If it is in nice condition then $900-1000 seems about right. If the

condition is not so good then less. But this would be from a store w/

a guarantee. So less on ebay. Chrome SL2s I think are more desirable

than the black (and more unusual). Remember though R stuff sells

slowly, so if you hold out for this price you may not sell it. Price

lower to get a quicker sale. Many people ask for way too high a price

on ebay for Leica R and are disappointed when no sale results.
